So you want to take away the freedom of speech from the babies? let them speak, they prefer dada more than mama, so don't hate the word, hate the tongue

You're not serious Even before they could say "mama", they were calling mothers "dada".
I told you that there's a linguistic explanation. . . . I'm just too busy to post it.

So you want to mis-interpret their words abi? dada for mothers? chei, do you work in the Nigerian police or are you related to beaf?

Ileke-IdI:


LOL Don't be smug. There's a linguistic explanation for the reason why infants find it easier to say "dada" than "mama". It has nothing to do with needing "dada" more than "mama" or that "dada" is more significant.

Chei Gatorsky you don come be dat ooo?
Linguistic ko titanic ni.
Kids simply prefer Daddys that's all

honeric01:

I am not misinterpreting anything nau.
Just saying the babies call everyone "dada", until they can say "mama". And still they call everyone "mama" once they can get a hang of it.

LOL, me as beaf. . . . greatest insult God punish you, atleast if you want to call me beaf make I get share of the national cake too.

Na lie, the kids cry to their dada spreading their arms waiting for dada to lift them up, they surely know who they are calling to so do not mis-represent them.

If you keep lying against the babies, i would have to name you BEAF2

Have you ever had a baby? Lived around babies?
Then you'd understand that before they learn to say "mama", they call everyone "dada". It takes a while for them to differentiate between mama/ dada words.

I always wonder if a single mother experiences the same dilemma.

I have 4 younger siblings and i am about 9yrs older than the last so i know this.

I also have 10 nieces/nephews and very close to about 4-5 of them.

I don't believe this, because of the way you've been posting. I'm sure you're the last child.

I told you, I've been a mother 2 times, so I should know

Haba, you of all people should know this.. why should i lie?

My boy calls his father "addi" and never mixed it up. When he started calling me "ma mami", he didn't stop calling my husband or mix the two up. I am pretty certain, he knows what he is doing.

Thank you!

Mama 2, hope you read this? except you and your hubby look alike, i don't see why your kids won't be able to differentiate dada from mama.

When babies first learn to "speak" (not googoo gaga o), they call everyone daddy until they can say mama to differentiate the two. Once they pick up, ofcourse they won't mix up the two. how old was your boy when he learned "addi" and what did he call you before he learned to say "mi mami"?

honeric01:

To make a point.

He was 11months when he started calling his dad. As for me, it was just last month. He didn't call me anything, he would just pull and tug at me or create a scene til I answered him.
Even now, for him to call me, he has to be in need of something.

Hmm interesting. I guess we all have different experience then.

A point to someone 20,000 or so miles away? which point exactly?

honeric01:

20,000 away? While your calculation is no more than accurate.
So I have to be in Nigeria for you to make a point? Ok, I'm currently in Ekiti.

Ileke-IdI:

Still far away, it will only take something very dangerous to see me making a point as you pointed.

Dangerous, how?
I have to have a knife to your throat? A gun at your jaw?

C'MON STOP IT. One of the reason why we have "discussions" and "arguments" on NL is to present a point or two. Esp if the conversation extends past one page.

Not everyone lol

I can imagine useless pastors and nuiscance pseudoscientists have probably used baby babble to claim the need for 'men' or 'daddy' or whatever- when it might just be the way speech naturally develops in children. mshew and nonsense
